Unexpected Find in Woolworths Chicken: What Did This Shopper Discover?
- Replies 6
What's life without twists and turns and the odd sprinkle of unexpected moments?
This Aussie with a penchant for poultry got more than he bargained for during his recent grocery run, unearthing a discovery that's left the internet abuzz and just a bit green with curiosity!
Likely planning a cosy dinner, a local shopper with a keen eye stumbled upon something that could only be described as 'mind-boggling'.
Sharing his find on social media, he found himself in the company of many squeamish users, all equally shocked and riveted.
Chris (@distillerchris) shared a video, exclaiming, ‘Imagine you cut into your roast cook and find green meat?’
He added, ‘Why is there green chicken in the chicken? It’s a no from me, bud, straight in the f***ing bin. And like, that stinks - f***ing foul. What is it?’
Meanwhile, the video made waves among social media users, garnering a deluge of comments, from comical to outraged.
One user said, ‘I’d be taking that straight back to the store, slapping it on the counter, and asking for a refund!’
Another added, ‘Straight in the bin!’
‘Take it back to the shops’, said a third.
However, fear not! The green chicken saga has been resolved.
The green flesh observed in chickens is attributed to a condition known as deep pectoral myopathy (DPM), commonly referred to as ‘Green Muscle Disease’.
This condition manifests as a green discolouration of the chicken's flesh, resulting from muscle swelling.
The swelling typically occurs when a bird excessively flaps its wings. But despite its macabre appearance, this condition isn't harmful.
Still peckish? Don't worry; munching on a bit of the green-tinged chicken likely won't cause you any harm.
However, as with any peculiar-looking food items, we always recommend a healthy dose of caution.

Numerous individuals have reported encountering instances of 'green' chicken before, including another loyal Woolworths shopper, Glen. To learn more about Glen's story, you can refer to this article.
One user shared, 'I’ve seen this before. A few years ago, we got a raw fresh chook cooked it, and it was green. Fed it to our dogs.'
Another added, 'I’ve thrown out chicken too. I've been noticing things with meat lately. Especially from large food chains. Be watchful and buy straight from the farm.'
A third stated, 'I saw that in ALDI chicken years ago and I’ve never bought meat from them again.'
Remember to always be alert, and you might save yourself and others from a not-so-pleasant dinner experience.
